I am sad to say that I was not privileged enough to meet either Clara or Ann. However, I have been blessed enough while getting to know our wonderful Elise to recognize in her many of the fine qualities embodied by “Grams” and Aunt Ann. In speaking with Laurie, Elise and Andrew, I have heard conversations about their loyalty not only to each other but to their entire family. I have been told that both had a dry and totally fantastic wit that could light up any room or, brighten any day. From the photos of both sisters I can see their beauty shines both inside and out. The cycle of life is not easily understood especially, while grieving. However, the footprints left by these two women on the family they loved, are forever and everlasting. It is up to you all to cherish these memories and gifts with the love in which they were given. If this is to be, the light of Clara and Ann will live in each heart forever.
My love and sympathy goes out to your entire family.

I’m very sorry to hear of the loss of Clara. I’ll remember her sense of gracefulness, beautiful smile and smart, sharp thinking and speaking. She and Ann are lighting up the heavens with their bright souls. We send prayers to the family members at this time of great loss. May you be comforted by God’s love. With Sympathy, Susan & Steve Cadley
